The Pac-10 will release its annual media poll Thursday morning, when the conference’s coaches, top players and freeloaders (a.k.a. reporters) gather for a meet-and-greet-and-eat at a Los Angeles hotel.

In the interest of full disclosure, you can check out my ballot below. I included win-loss records, even though the Pac-10 doesn’t require them.

How did I come up with said standings? The same way I used to do my NFL predictions: By going through the entire schedule and picking every game. It’s just the way I roll.

(Tiebreakers are explained after the chart.)

USC 8-1

Oregon 7-2

Cal 6-3

Oregon State 5-4*

Stanford 5-4
